Clean Record in North Catolina Select Committee Declares There Was Nothing Dishonest or Irregular In Transactions. In both branches of the Iegis lature Friday was read the re port of the select committee ap pointed to consider the sensation al report of the auditing com mitUe of the last Legislature that investigated the offices of State Treasurer, Auditor and In surance Commissioner. The re- port is signed by all the members of the joint committee, including t. t)...i i:. l me i.euuijcun3, ttijy i ui great length. It f4nds that ali the Auditor's warrants criticized by the auditing committee were fully authorized by law, and as to the voucher for the Goldaboro Hospital for money P) repair building, it states that no such warrant and no such voucher r.umber can be found on the Treasurer's and Auditor's books, that the hospital owes nothing fur furniture or repairs, but does owe for upies authorized by Governor and Council of State. As to Fish Commissioner Meek ii.o, the report, ufter going ex haustively into the evidence con cludes that while hi renting of a houae and boat from himself was technically in contravention at the law, it was all done with the approval of the b anl under which he served, waa tu 'he ad vantage of the .StiC.e and under tft circumstances wum the only way in which lv; could have dis clurged his duties. As to the Insurance Commis sioner the report finds as a fact the statement of the auditing, committee that no evidence of any character of dishonesty is disclosed on the part of any one handling the funds or seucriries, and that there is no suggestion of any such; that the securities have been kept according to law in safety deposit boxes in a vault in a bank in this city, the State having provided no modern vault f r any State officer: that a more modern and easily understood fcstcm of book-keeping should bd installed under w hich balances siould be made at reguLr poriods and that the commission er is installing changes suggested If the exjiert accountant em ployed with the consent and at the expense of the ccinmisaioner, Which latter fact the auditing committee laded to report to the Legislature.

Fears of tariff , revision, dulness and" depression! in spot cotton, weakness in Liv erpool, reports that Manchester was to adopt short time, and final ly statements that the yarn man ufacturers of North Carolina would do the same thing, have had some,fFect. With it all came heavy liquidation, apparently in part for big spot interests. The crop movement, too, has contin ued on a scale which has made believers in a yield of 13,500,000 to 13,750,D0o bales more con fident. Though the dry goods trade has been slow ly improving, it has been so slow that bears have claimed dry goods condi tions as a bearish asset. Mean time Liverpool has a very large stock, and it takes considerable to carry it, espeeially as the sot sales there have been very light, despite occasional spurts. Vet in" spite of every drawback, there has been a certain under-current uf eteadinesa. Spinners' takings go on at a rate which does not, seem to' suggest any widespread complaint at ruling prices, which coi tinue to be much lower than those if a year ago, while the Quality of the cron is much supe rior. Some large transfers of March cotton to October, on the eve of March notices, have have been made w ithout much af fecting that month. Liverpool hasbeen undergoing straddles be tween the two markets by buy ing in New Vork at a very good profit. The South has sold at times, but has also' liought of late, .especially New Orleans. The principal selling has come fnm sjM.it people, Wall street and Chicago. 5M 0.i LUVt USNcSSU i fft.rkfd ef Tfeem Fiee from the Suit m CUVr I j OiUit !e Pr p.'ie of he f echja las ?ntd 0et the G;r.ffl m Veto.
